Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is a "great pleasure" and a "great responsibility" for its superfan CEO, and he's governed by one guiding principle: "Heroes is for everyone"

Rue Valley is great when it's leaning into being a time-looping adventure game rather than an RPG, and there's some real golden snooping to be had here while it lasts.
Rue Valley is a time looping RPG that's best off leaning away from Disco Elysium comparisons, and getting Monkey Island with it instead

Like it or not, Fairgames is one of the most important upcoming games for PS5 - big success or otherwise, it feels pivotal. Luke puts it well here!
You'd be forgiven for having forgotten about - or even being completely unaware of - Fairgames. But it will, I argue, be a deciding factor in the future of Sony's live service strategy. www.gamesradar.com/games/action...
After Payday 3's fumbles, Fairgames just might turn out to be the heist game that I crave

Reviewed this way back and it might be basic (XCOM style game aimed at kids), but it's pretty good fun. Always sad to see this stuff end up delisted.

Finally slapped a score on my Black Ops 7 review and got it all tidied up (thanks @mroscartk.bsky.social!) and the campaign is uhhh… certainly something.

I respect the attempt to make the weirdest Call of Duty possible with Black Ops 7, but it results in a campaign misfire and multiplayer that's hardly revolutionary
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is a highly ambitious FPS that delivers on its promise to be the biggest Black Ops ever, wearing its psy-op weirdness proudly, but is an uneven package overall.

Kirby Air Riders is perhaps an ideal video game in that it's easy to overlook its flaws because it's fun enough to play over and over again. Taken on their own, each section of the game largely leaves me cold or indifferent, but the entire package together is solid.

To commemorate the PS5’s 5th anniversary week, I look ahead to Intergalactic, which might finally bring Naughty Dog kicking and screaming into this generation with a new IP that will hopefully remind us why it’s the top dog in AAA cinematic blockbusters www.gamesradar.com/games/action...
I don't care if Intergalactic blasts past 2026, a new Naughty Dog cinematic action-adventure is reason enough to be excited

"Dispatch doesn't have a secret identity – this is an episodic adventure that knows exactly what it wants to be." My review!
Critical Role fans rejoice – episodic gaming has been superheroically saved by Dispatch's incredibly charming band of misfits
Dispatch might be the best superhero TV show of the year, even though it's a game.

Refusing to let go of annualisation, filling gaps with AI assets... It can't be sustainable, and it shows in the final product. Developers need time and space to make things worth engaging with.
Once annualized royalty, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 makes it clear CoD campaigns can't keep up with the pace – like Modern Warfare 3, this feels like another 'point five' release
Opinion | Call of Duty Black Ops 7's campaign continues a trend of half-step releases in all but name

As the player two here, the greatest challenge of this boss fight was trying to battle it through the tears of laughter.
Recording my entire Black Ops 7 playthrough meant that I captured moments like when I almost suffocated laughing at

Reckoning with a console generation that feels like it's only getting started five years in.
Five years later, PS5 is in the best place it's ever been, but after 8 years covering PlayStation, I've never seen a console generation like it
Opinion | PlayStation's strong points have never been better across a lineup of thrilling adventures, all while it struggles to shift gears – but does the publisher really need to?

Played through this after loving the demo, and Act One is a really great start. Impeccable vibes and style, and getting into the rhythm of spraying and grappling through the space colony is great. More than a couple of really impactful vistas I'll avoid spoiling for now as well.
